Electrolux motor bearings

[k15]

I acquired a free Electrolux Ambassador 3 from the 90s. It's in pretty good shape, other than the fan end motor bearing blew apart somehow. The inner race stayed on the armature shaft, the outer race is in the plastic housing (with a riveted plate holding it in), and the balls all fell out. I already drilled out the rivets and have access to the outer race, any tricks to getting that out? I don't want to break the plastic. And is the bearing a standard (shielded) 608? Like this?

The dimensions seem right.

Oh man! That's a rough position to have to remove it from. Hopefully someone else will have a better suggestion but I think it'd actually cut the ring with a dremel. You'll have to do it little by little to make sure the heat generated doesn't warp or melt the plastic housing surrounding it. Best of luck with man!
